crow vs llama-cpp-agent

crow: Modular, agentic framework and MCP platform you self-host. Build and run your own AI agents, connect Claude/ChatGPT/Cursor as a native MCP connector, self-host your apps, and share over encrypted P2P — on hardware you own, with local or cloud models. Open source.; llama-cpp-agent: llama-cpp-agent is a Python framework for interacting with LLMs running via llama.cpp. It provides a unified interface for chat, structured function calls, and JSON-formatted output — including models not explicitly fine-tuned for function calling. Developers can define tools and callable functions that the agent invokes directly, making it practical for building local agentic workflows without cloud dependencies.
